Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2360 - 2296: Has Not Married

Before Fourth Master Jiang could utter another word, Cheng Cheng declared in a solemn tone, "My sole desire is to share the father-son bond with my foster father. No need to speculate; I have zero interest in the Jiang Family's assets. Permit me to explain my background. I've dedicated myself to the armed forces and presently act as the Deputy Officer of the Third Regiment in the D State Alliance."

"A Deputy Officer? That's a notable rank for such a youthful fellow—truly noteworthy," Third Master Jiang commented, clearing his throat a couple of times.

The rest of the group joined the conversation.

"Deputy Officer Cheng clearly possesses striking looks and captivating allure, securing the role of Deputy Officer at his age, with boundless prospects ahead. Considering his decade-long father-son tie with Xiao Sixth, he belongs to the Jiang Family without question."

"Absolutely, absolutely—one big family, one big family."

Numerous voices repeated the agreement, and suddenly, Cheng Cheng found himself embraced by the group's enthusiasm.

Several eligible young ladies from the Jiang Family glanced at Cheng Cheng with intrigue and a touch of bashfulness.

In all of D State, they'd never encountered a man so strikingly handsome.

Cheng Cheng's features were exceptionally striking, and his rugged appeal alone stirred the pulses of countless young ladies.

As the adoptive son of Sixth Young Master, unrelated by blood, should an opportunity arise...

A Deputy Officer, bolstered by the Jiang Family's influence, could easily soar to even greater heights.

Though Cheng Cheng sensed various odd stares directed his way, he dismissed them entirely.

Upon learning he wasn't there to vie for the Jiang Family's fortune, everyone eased up noticeably.

Naturally, he realized some might still harbor suspicions about his motives, yet gaining entry into the Jiang Family sufficed for now. He had to establish this connection publicly among all the Jiang Family members.

Without that, how else could he freely visit and depart from the Jiang Family going forward? How could he proudly display his position as a Jiang Family young master?

And without showcasing his status as a Jiang Family young master, how would he assist Chiang Xiaoxiao in getting acquainted with the Jiang Family's affairs initially?

By now, Lu Shuangshuang's emotions had settled considerably.

With the crowd's focus fixed on Cheng Cheng, her thoughts lingered on Jiang Shiheng's previous statement.

Over the years, he's leaned on his adoptive son.

Could that imply he remains unmarried?

With this realization dawning, Sixth Grandma of the Jiang Family inquired directly, "Xiao Sixth, you haven't forgotten Sixth Grandma, right?"

"Sixth Grandma, how could I forget? You appear quite healthy these days."

"I'm managing fine, though age catches up. It's been twenty years since you left. Sixth Grandma has a question: did you find a wife during your time away?"

This inquiry topped the list of curiosities for the entire Jiang Family, including Lu Shuangshuang.

She gripped her handkerchief tightly, eyeing Jiang Shiheng with bated breath.

Despite catching his earlier comment, certainty eluded her.

Besides, he might have wed only for misfortune to strike, prompting reliance on Cheng Cheng.

Jiang Shiheng shook his head firmly, replying with clarity: "I have not wed."

"Not at all?"

"Correct, Sixth Grandma."

Relief washed over her.

Lu Shuangshuang felt as if her pounding heart finally eased back from her tense throat.

Nearby, Jiang Yunqing murmured softly, "Sixth Aunt, it's plain Uncle Six still holds you dear."

Lu Shuangshuang's lips curved faintly upward despite herself, as she hushed, "You cheeky girl, hush on that."

Jiang Yunqing grinned in return, while Jiang Yuncun beside her pulled at her sleeve, though she paid it no heed.
